Oh, and that ties into the OP's subject of robots and the organically-expanded subject of robots taking over the world.  Got it.

another quoted review excerpt for Robopocalpyse:
"Futurists are already predicting the day mankind builds its replacement, Artificial Intelligence. Daniel Wilson shows what might happen when that computer realizes its creators are no longer needed."

Yeah, our time is short as Head Honchos O' The Planet, methinks.

I highly doubt it, fiction like this preys on a deep rooted human trait: paranoia. Entertaining stories though!

Daniel H. Wilson, author of Robopocalypse, has a PhD in robotics ... so he knows how to survive* an uprising!

obvious tip #1: don't waste ammo on resistant targets, go for the eyes (sensors) !



*cool animations though -- surprisingly bloody!
